Based on the best-selling novel by Jessica Knoll (who also wrote the screenplay), this pulpy drama stars Mila Kunis as a boarding school rape victim who also survived a school shooting and is now dealing with the fallout. Despite Kunis’ hefty (and possibly career-best) performance, it’s tough to shake the thought that the material would have been better served as a limited series. Too much is crammed into too little space, and the result feels watered down from the gripping source material.
2.5/5 stars
